Hi, Here are two references I have read so far. Hope it is useful to you. Martin, M. (1991). Chapter 6: The culture of telephone. In "/Hello, Central? Gender, technology and culture in the formation of telephone systems/" (pp. 140-166): McGill-Queen's University Press. Fisher, C. S. (1992). Chapter 3: Educating the public. In /"America calling: a social history of the telephone to 1940"/ (pp. 60-85): University of California Press.

Hello AoIR list,
I'm at work on a MA thesis, and I'm searching for some literature on the development of social codes around new technologies, specifically technologies of communication. Particularly I'm looking for some historic context--how did/do things like "phone manners" evolve? How do we learn what's "rude" or "polite"? How did we decide that all caps in email means "yelling"? How localized is the development of these kinds of rules or codes? And are these codes constantly in flux or do they ever stabilize?
Any resources or places to look would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Amanda Lenhart MA Candidate Communications, Culture and Technology Georgetown University & Pew Internet & American Life Project
